MV is a deep, dark and velvety perfume, extremely seductive, earthy and rich. Cecile Krakower, the nose of the composition, made this dark and alluring fragrance out of bergamot, jasmine, vetiver, vanilla, leather, amber crystals and tolu balsam notes.

It is available as 20 ml EDP.

This is resinious heaven. Why they always discontinue those heavy heavenly fumes? Is it IFRA? I should find out.

Hollie and sunnycocoloco discribed it perfectly, not for the flower or fruity lovers.

This is oriental, baby! Yeah!

I LOVE this scent! Sweet, smokey, woody....sexy! I ran out several years ago but kept the bottle for a long time just so that I could sniff it. I agree most closely with belladonna's review although I don't remember jasmine...I'm going off memory of the scent though. There is definately a deep, sultry smokiness about it and I also smelled tobacco. I dream of this perfume sometimes. I own Tokyo Milk Dead Sexy and when I first sniffed the bottle, I agree, that it smelled an awful lot like this one but when I get Dead Sexy on my skin it is SO much sweeter( more of a caramel sweet than a vanilla sweet like MV3) and I'm still trying to decide how I feel about it. Mac MV3 has just enough sweet to keep it from being overly masculine. This scent is probably not for everyone but I've always been a lover of amber, cedar, patchouly,.....other "masculine" and smokey scents. This one is THE perfect blend of sweet,smokey, woody and tiny bits of spicey!

Yum. This scent is amazing. This is the very first scent I fell in love with when I was a teenager. It definitely may be too masculine for some women, but for me, this is a very unique, sexy scent. The first spray is quite bitter, spicy, and very, very leathery. To me, it smells fresh - but strong - at first but the dry down is intoxicating... I can't stop smelling my skin when I wear this. It is very leathery, vanilla-y and warm. I don't know how else to explain it other than intoxicating and unique. This scent is definitely NOT for those who want to smell fruity and girly... this is quite the opposite. But still delicious and unique for those who dare! This would smell AMAZING on a man... I think it would drive girls crazy... but I love my two (2!) bottles too much to give them away.

Hmmm, interesting reading these reviews... How uniquely we respond to perfumes. I sampled this yesterday and instantly reeled from the huge wallop of sandalwood. Somewhat surprising as its not a listed note, and I perceived no floral or bergamot tones which just goes to show how well the notes do combine and enhance each other. After an hour or so, vanilla/amber seemed to be floated on top. I didn't need to sniff my wrist as I was enveloped in a fog of fragrance. Not at all unpleasant but clearly sillage is generous and willing to embrace anyone within hearing distance! Longevity is also powerful, I could catch glimpses of it for hours and even in the morning after a sleep. This is not a complex fragrance, it didn't evolve much, but it is certainly beautifully balanced and blended, rich, big and happy to encompass anyone in a room. Not recommended for day or close environments as I could imagine this could give offence to sensitive noses or fragile stomachs, but if sandalwood and/or vanillary amber is a must in your repotoire, this is for you.

This is absolutely gorgeous,however, I bought it to wear to a ball and did wear it but found it a bit too masculine at the end of the day - almost as though I felt like I was in drag!. I gave it to my husband and on him it smells sexy and divine! A dark, deep and lovely scent.

oh this one is a black addition done right. Three cheers for MAC. Diffidently the deeper side of vanilla and jasmine. Vetyver and deeply tanned leather rise up and swirl around you, while woody sweet and spicy tolu balsam linger with the amber on the bottom. All playing up the main stars of the mentioned vanilla and jasmine, sweet but not to sweet over all because it has so much depth. Comes across almost smokey, Possibly due to the haze of adoration while walking through it. May actually be to heavy for some.
Reminiscent of 'dead sexy' from T.M. but is a little better on me; less dry, sour and exotic woods. Also Want to say there is tobacco too but it must be the association with the leather.
This is beautiful and rich with deep dark undertones; perfectly sinful, sexy to the core.
